This estimate is exclusive of refugees in Kakuma and Dadaab.
Based on an analysis conducted during the Kenya Food Security Steering Group’s 2019 mid-season long rains update and the 2018-2019 short rains assessment, the food insecure population has increased 45 per cent since February 2019.
Famine Early Warning Systems Network said the ongoing lean season in pastoral areas will be more severe than usual, driven by anticipated declines in livestock prices and rising staple food prices.
